Why are you reading the help for Hmisc::errbar when I suggested (and
copied and pasted for you!) the function plotCI from the plotrix
package?

The examples in ?plotCI demonstrate having horizontal and vertical
error bars, as cited in the bit I copied and pasted for you.

Please also reply all so your message returns to the R-help list, and
not just to me, so others can participate and benefit.
